Bright Winter
Bright Winter is the most vivid of the winter seasons. The coloring is clear first and cool second: sparkling blue, green or bright dark eyes, dark hair and striking contrast between hair, skin and eyes. Saturated, clear, cool colors make Bright Winters look electric; dusty, muted and earthy colors dull them down.

Frequently asked questions
What colors should a Bright Winter avoid?
Avoid muted, dusty and earthy colors: beige, camel, taupe, olive, mustard and dusty rose. Soft blended shades make clear eyes and skin look flat.
Can a Bright Winter wear black or white?
Yes — black and optic white are perfect for a Bright Winter, especially paired with one vivid accent color.
What hair colors suit a Bright Winter?
Dark brown, blue-black and deep cool brown. Clear, dark shades keep contrast high; avoid muddy mid-browns, golden highlights and brassy tones.
What's the difference between Bright Winter and Bright Spring?
Both are bright and high-contrast. The difference is temperature: Bright Winter leans cool (fuchsia, electric blue, icy white), Bright Spring leans warm (coral, lime, sunflower). If fuchsia flatters you more than coral, you lean winter.
What metals and jewelry suit a Bright Winter?
High-polish silver, platinum and white gold. Bright stones like sapphire, emerald and crystal suit this season.
